Welcome to Myrons 1100-Name Index. You can find the brand name, model name, and the maker of your bike here.

It matters whether a bike is a USA model or not. USA models were imported by the hundreds or thousands, while non-USA mopeds were brought into the US one at a time by private citizens. Parts for non-USA models were never sold in the US. There is also unfamiliarity on both sides. They’re not familiar with our stuff, and we’re not familiar with theirs. In the last 15 years, these barriers have been reduced by the internet and globalization. To get parts in the US for a non-US model, you have to either get them from Europe or know what US moped had those same parts. US models all have a horn and brake light and extra magneto wires. Euro models have less wires, often a thumb bell instead of an electric horn, no brake light, and different light fixtures and bulb styles. Besides having certain parts differences, USA and non-USA models are usually called different names. A Honda Hobbit in the US is a Camino in Europe. Then there are different speed versions catered to the laws of different European countries. Knowing what parts are the same is the name of the game.

From the name you have, use this index to find the bike brand.Then look in the MME under that. Hopefully there will be a picture to confirm the identity of your moped or motorbike. All names of USA mopeds are included, but only some non-US moped names are listed. Some moped-related names of electric and gasoline (below 110cc) scooters, street motorcycles, pocket bikes, mini-bikes, stand-up scooters, and motorized bicycles are also included.

1. Myrons Rides. Over 2000 participants have had their moped year, make, model meticulously recorded, by Shaun. Every rare moped is also photographed. In nine years of monthly rides, over 50,000 photographs have been taken. Out of that big pile of rocks, about 50 jewels were produced, which provided missing or previously unknown information. Many common bikes info, known from other sources, was also verified by first hand inspection.Here are the sources that were used to gather and organize all this information.

2. Myrons Service Department. Over 1500 mopeds have been serviced at Myrons since 1999. Whenever a rare kind comes in the door, Shaun documents and photographs it. Again, about 20 jewels came from that big pile of rocks, which provided key information. Also many common bikes were verified.

3. Original Manufacturer Literature. A wall of paperwork was sorted out in 2000-2003. Myrons Mopeds had purchased about 20 other moped shops left over inventory and literature. There were 12 Motobecane dealer notebooks, plus 10 Peugeot and 10 Puch ones. There were maybe a hundred parts catalogs containing black and white exploded view line drawings for dozens of brands. Then there were dozens of color sales brochures for most major brands.

4. Books and Magazines. Several physical books were used. The most important are first:

5. Moped Army Wiki. www.mopedarmy.com. A large and ever-growing collection of moped-related articles, user edited. It provided much of the non-California moped information, missing from Myrons Mopeds own sources (from 20 California moped shop buyouts). Credit goes to a few dozen articles about moped models and brands.

6. Moped Army Photo Gallery. www.mopedarmy.com. A very nice collection of moped photos, original and modified, USA models and non-USA models. Most of the photos have accurate year, make, model information in their title. Hundreds of contributors deserve credit for that gallery. A few prized images were the key missing puzzle pieces, especially those models never sold in California, such as Mo-Trek Yard Man and FMB Yankee Peddler.

7. Spark Plug Charts. In order to sell the most product, spark plug manufacturers try to make their application charts as complete and accurate as possible. They often include makes or models that are discontinued or were only sold elsewhere, just to be on the safe side. They also often say the model name different ways, like “Sport 50” and “50 Sport”, to be sure the consumer will recognize it.
